MacBooks Pro

I am sure that the following question has been asked thousand of times in this forums but taking the opportunity of the upcoming new release of MacBooks Pro i would like to discuss with you some basic issues.

Ok, i have to say that i am not a new entrant in the Apple world , as i already own an old iMac which now is unused.

I was very happy with my iMac and i was using it for a long time but my needs changed and i needed to buy a laptop computer . So i was in a huge dilemma going with a macbook or a pc . In the end , i believe i took the decision and i bought a Sony Vaio Laptop which i used it until now and i have to say i am extremely unhappy with it.

Now , 2 1/2 years after i am against the same dilemma . I searched all the possible options today , and i concluded that the situation for me is the same as before . I use my laptop mainly for common tasks like programming ,watching movies , download some stuff etc but also i am an online games fan and in the past i played wow and now i am devoted to AION. Besides that i want my laptop to be "cariable"

I am of those who believe that there is a gap between Apples series. I mainly looking for the 13" macbook pro which offers me everything i ask from it (in home i will connect an external monitor) . However i am wondering why Apple decided not to offer the possibility of a better graphic card on macbooks 13"? I think this would be reasonable for a lot of people. Sure I think over 1300 Euros it's not an option for me to go with the 15" with the Geforce 9600.

So to conclude my questions are :

1) Do you think Apple has a gap in its laptop series?
2)Why is doing this?
3)Hardware issues are the problem?
4)Do you believe that a Macbook 13" can handle my needs? I really dont need the best rate of FPS i just want Aion to be playable for now and for 1-2 years after.

I would really appreciate it if you could answer my questions, and sorry for the long length of my post.
